Hello Boys and Girls!

Hello there boys and girls!

My name is UltimateJinx007 and I will be your host today. Since I feel like I already know you, please feel free to call me Jinx. All my friends do. And you're my friend right? Wait, you want to know a bit more about me before making that decision?! Probably a wise choice. <grin> Well, here you go!

While I may seem like an ultra-cool jet setter while writing these posts, I am in reality a married mom with a passel of kids ranging from 17 down to 2. You would think that would mean I'd be running around so much I'd be a stick figure version of Kate Moss. Unfortunately not. At this point in my life I am at my heaviest and most unhealthiest (is that a word?) that I have been at any point in my life. Sad I know. Even sadder was the number on the scale this morning. <whispers> 190! Don't tell!

So, it's time to (wait for it), Nut Up or Shut Up. Now, I've been trying to lose weight for years. Usually resulting in dangerous weight loss and gain. Especially heavy on that gain part. (Aren't I punny?) Now I'm staring down the big 4-0 and my kids are running circles around me. My goal, besides trying to survive my children's rough and tumble love, is to finish a Spartan Sprint this summer. Look it up; it looks frightfully fun. I've reached a point where I don't care about that number on the scale anymore. Well, maybe a little. What I do want is a body that will do what I want when I want it to. Whether that is carrying my sleepy little munchkins up to bed without getting winded or crawling up a muddy hill under barbed wire screaming "Bring it on!".

So, now that you've gotten to know me (friend!), I hope you continue to follow our newly created blog of those who are ready to NUT UP or SHUT UP!

Be talking to you again real soon,

UltimateJinx007
